The 5 Most Common Exercise Physiology Myths (And the Truth Behind Them)

If you’ve ever wondered whether seeing an Exercise Physiologist is “just like going to a PT,” you’re not alone. At Move Right EP, we constantly hear misconceptions that can hold people back from getting the help they really need.

It’s time to set the record straight, let's look at common Exercise Physiology Myths.

1. “Exercise Physiologists just give you workouts.”

✅ EPs assess, prescribe, and monitor clinically tailored movement therapy, not just fitness routines.

2. “I only need one if I’m injured.”

✅ EPs also work preventatively, especially with chronic conditions and functional limitations.

3. “They’re basically the same as physios.”

✅ Physios focus on diagnosis and manual therapy, EPs focus on rehabilitation through movement.

4. “It’s not covered by Medicare or NDIS.”

✅ Most EP services are covered under Medicare plans, DVA, WorkCover, and NDIS.

5. “I can just follow YouTube or do Pilates instead.”

✅ Generic movement often misses the root cause—a structured EP plan targets pain origin, not just symptoms.

If you're still stuck in pain, unsure who to trust, or bouncing between “quick fixes” that never stick — it’s time for something different. At Move Right EP, we combine clinical expertise with real-world strength to give you lasting results. No guesswork. No gimmicks. Just a tailored path to move better, feel stronger, and finally get back to living without limitations.
